Wilhelm M. Busch was good at drawing anything, but his illustrations depicting horses show the artist’s special connection with the animal. The reason could be the fact that horses are readily available drawing subjects in Germany. At the races, sporting events and at farms. These book illustrations date back to 1977 for the edition of “Reitvorschrift fuer eine Geliebte” (Riding Rules for a Lover)…odd title. Every one of these pen and ink/brush images is a gem. So inspiring. Refreshingly…

I'm starting to absorb Alex and Louis' methods into my approach. It's all about simplifying the anatomy, pushing the pose and imbuing story, attitude and character. I struggled like hell at first to consider all these aspects with 30 sec- 1 min poses but with sustained practise it's coming-just like learning to drive! 1 One minute warm ups 2 3 4 Thirty second warm ups 5 PUSH the pose! 6 7 8 Working from the same model and using the pose as inspiration we look for character and story.
